Re: makeinfo man page: say columns, not characters

   $ man makeinfo
          --fill-column=NUM
                 break Info lines at NUM characters (default 72).

   Say columns, not characters. E.g., there will be less characters if they
   are fullwidth characters.

That wouldn't make sense, a column is N characters, saying that it
breaks at N columns would mean that the breaks occur at N*CHAR
characters.
